R6 frame stengthening help

I'm just getting in to setting up an 05 R6 and am looking fr some help

I've heard the 03 - 05 frame is a lil seek along with the engine mounts. anyone got any pics of cracks / breaks so I can see where to strengthen... or if anyone has got their strngthened R6 set up pics that'd be perfect.

I heard about taking out screwing the throttle bodies together once in place so they don't fall apart on pancake.

Re: R6 frame stengthening help

never had a problem with a frame breaking or tbis falling off. had one bend but that was becuase my motor mounts came loose and I pancaked very hard. atowncustoms.com makes a new cage design for the r6 that goes straight into the back motor mount bolts. I have a pic of it. Havnt had a problem!
